«Doña Eustolia blandió el cuchillo cebollero» is a collection of short stories and reportage by Paco Ignacio Taibo II, published by Ediciones B (309 pages).
It brings together several short stories and two reportage pieces about the workers' struggles of the 1970s in Mexico. It narrates the encounter between students and workers in Mexico City factories, with strikes such as that of a textile factory, and humorously recovers the places, tasks and anecdotes of that coexistence.
The subtitle is «y otras historias que pasaron en algunas fábricas». The work corresponds to the 2006 Spanish edition.
It may interest readers of social narrative and those seeking testimonies of Mexican labour history.
